Goodyear Desert Edge senior defensive tackle Nassir Sims announced on social media Monday that he has reopened his football recruiting after “circumstances happening that are beyond my control.”

Earlier this month, Sims committed to Washington State. It was the same week that Phoenix Central defensive lineman Cosmas Kwete committed to the Pac-12 school.

Sims did not return a message.

Jon Clanton, who stepped down last week as head coach at Phoenix Central to see his son play college football in Ohio next year, said that Washington State still is “100 percent” with its scholarship offer for Kwete.

Desert Edge coach Jose Lucero said San Diego State and New Mexico State still hold offers to Sims.

“Nassir is fortunate to still have schools that are very interested in him,” Lucero said. “He has worked hard on the field and academically put himself in good position for school to recruit him.

“I believe he will find a great fit to continue his education and football at the next level.”

Sims commits to Washington State

Nov. 7, 2018

Goodyear Desert Edge defensive tackle Nassir Sims committed to Washington State on Monday evening.

Earlier in the day, Washington State got a commitment from Phoenix Central defensive end Cosmas Kwete.

Sims, 6-foot-3, 285 pounds, is a three-star composite ranked 2019 prospect by 247Sports. He also had Pac-12 offers from Arizona and Colorado.

Sims is the third Valley product to commit to Washington State. Queen Creek Casteel quarterback Gunner Cruz committed to the Cougars in June.

Sims was the fourth Valley player on Monday to announce a commitment, as Casteel receiver Kyheem Waleed pledged to Boise State.

Sims has 62 tackles and nine sacks this season for the Scorpions, who play host to Phoenix Greenway on Friday in the 4A quarterfinals.

“They are getting a passionate kid who plays with a non-stop motor,” Desert Edge coach Jose Lucero said. “Nassir has always worked very hard in the weight room and on the field.

“He has grown up a lot lately. I look to him to do big things moving forward.”
